Parking the car in the campus of Shantivan, he looked at the lady sitting beside him, fidgeting with her fingers and looking here and there with nervousness.

Smiling, he came out and opened the door like a gentleman receiving the sweet reward of her enchanting smile.

Walking beside her in the lobby of his house, rather in a reserved pace, he softly forwarded his hand to her direction who was busy talking to Preeto over the phone.

He stared at his own hands and then hers and then chewing on his lower lips like a lost, innocent teenager very swiftly and softly held his unannounced yet claimed Love's hand.

KHUSHI'S POV

Rakshas ji, No-No, Arnavji opened the door for me and this time I didn't get confused like I did in that cafe the other day when we met to discuss about jiji and Jijaji and he pulled the chair for me.

Hey Devi Maiya!
What kind of a buffoon I had been that time, he, like a gentleman was taking out the chair for me and I thought him trying to capture my seat.

Ehehe, I, myself, sometimes, think about that and laugh oafly.

But it, isn't my fault.
Sadly, I never had been to any dates with any Bankelal to know what kind of good etiquettes, the gentlemen shows.

But, I am glad too, as I didn't go on a date with anyone.

Because, I want to go on a date with only the owner of the patent What the!.

We have met once but...

Hell!  That too even was not a date. We met to discuss about our siblings.

First thing first, I am feeling sad for not going to any dates.

How does it feel to go on a date?

Should I ask Laad Governor to take me on a date?

Huh!  Laad Governor can't even speak his feelings and he would take me to a date?

Khushi, Tu nhi na( You naa)

And why do you want to go on a date with this Laad Governor without any confession?

Haawwhhh! 
This Laad Governor's effect is brainwashing you.

Going on a date before confession is a SIN, Sin.

But, how one will confess if they don't go on a date?

Ugh!  Its so confusing.

I was busy in my mind puzzle where Preeto called me.

Ohh!  Preeto, my childhood bestie.

I was busy talking to her when I felt something lingering on my hand and next moment I gasped and my Fhone (Phone)  fell down when I found my Rakshas entwining his palm with mine.

My heart beat accelerated and I felt my both intestines jumping.

And then the spree of my hiccups begun.

His smiled curved lips pouted and he looked at me with a frown but still not leaving my hands forcing the hiccups to continue.

He looked at me intensely and suddenly smirked.

What the!
Here, these stubborn hiccups aren't stopping and here this Laad Governor is busy smirking and looking delicious.

Should I confess that I feel like eating him up whenever I see him smirking?

No!
He would rather get offended as there is nothing which could terrify him and what if he starts maintaining distance from me?

No-No, I don't want that.

I was once again lost in my thoughts when my felt my shoes shaking.

What the!

Earthquakeeeeeeeeee
Bhaaaaagggggoooooo (Ruuuuunnnnnnnnn)

No wait, that's my Fhone. Ohh!  It fell down on my shoes.

Devi Maiya ka laakh laakh sukhr h( Many thank you to the deity)

I gulped when I saw the caller ID. The Laad Governor would again start sulking and exhale like a bull but for that I can't hurt my friend.

Yes, (Ji)  Nanhe ji, O said on the phone and found Arnavji's hold tighten.

Yes, Yes, we are coming in two minutes, okk Nanheji. I answered to his query and quickly disconnected the call only to find myself pinned in between the wall and my Laad Governor but this pinning was not manhandaling. It was soft, eased with delicacy and seducive.

The smell of his aftershave numbed my senses for a while and I came to sense seeing his lips moving close to mine.

W-what does this Shaitan intend to do?

Will he kiss me like Jack kissed rose in Titanic which I and Jiji watched hiding from everyone?

That English waali kiss?

Ohh!
He isn't kissing me, rather saying something, but what?

Why are you so friendly with him Khushi?  I-I don't like it.

Ohh!  Toh Laad Governor apnii hi Dhunki me h. (Ohh!  So, this Laad Governor is busy ranting his own demands.)

Arnavji, wo humse hmesa acchi tarah se baaat kerte h, itnee hasmukh h, toh hum bhi toh.. (Arnavji, he is always polite to me, talks ao nicely to me, he is so chirpy, so I should also...........)

I reasoned but he stopped me in mid sulking and gritting his teeth more.

Nhi Khushi, tum nhi, tum uss NK se dur rahogi. (No Khushi, you will not, you will stay away from that NK.)

That Laad Governor of mine asked rather ordered me, making me angry now.

Kyu? (Why?) I asked with a frown controlling my anger but not after his next words.

Kyunki mai keh rha hu (Because I am saying so) He said it so casually and made me freak out at the audacity of him.

I poked my fingers on his chest and shouted, startling him-

Aap kya Prime Minister h?
Hum kyu aapki baaat maane?(Are you the Prime Minister?  Why should I listen to you?) 

Nanheji hmare bht acche dost h, wo humme hasate h, aapki tarah nhi jo ki ek Rakshas h. (Nanheji is a very good friend of mine, he makes me smile, he is not like you who is a Demon.)

He looked at me angrily and I felt myself going nervous.

Ahh!  This Laad Governor scares me still.

But then suddenly, he smirked and what he said next made me speechless and well, blush.

Ugh!

Accha?
Mai, Rakshas?
Wo hasata h? (Ohh!  I am a demon and he makes you smile?)

Tab bhi Toh tumhe mai hi pasand aya, kyu? (Then also, you liked only me, why?)

I looked here and there with my best attempt to hide the blush and said-

Wo-wo, dekhiye Rakshas ji, meraa matlb Arnavji, baaat mat palatiyee. Ek Toh aapne ramanchi ki( Uh-Uh, Look Rakshas ji, I meant Arnavji, don't change the topic, and you did Ramanchi.)

Raman, what? He asked so charmingly I felt like, like, eating him up.

Ohh!  What this Laad Governor is doing with me?

Ramanchiiiii, RAMANCHI matlb(means) cheating. I said still composing myself and coming back powerfully I ordered my Laad Governor-

Ab hmari baaat suniye, ek toh aapne Ram-Cheating ki uper se aap hum per hi.. (Now listen to me, first of all, you did Ram-Cheating and then you are...)

But that Laad Governor didn't let me complete abd shooted up his question-

Kya cheating ki Maine? (What kind of cheating I did?)

I looked at him and with twisted lips muttered-

Aapne apnee dil ki baaat nhi khi. (You didn't say your feelings.)

And in return, I heard my Rakshas ji's stupid reasoning-

Khushi, her baaat bolni jaruri h kya? (Khushi, is it necessary to voice out every feeling?)

Aap ka Laad Governor honaa jaruri h kya?
(Is it necessary for you to be a Laad Governor?) I countered back immediately which made him throw his head back in annoyance.

I fumed literally and then declared my clear decision-

Dekhiye Arnavji, baaat saaaf h, ya Toh aap apnee dil ki baaat kahiye werna hum per hukum chalana bnd kijiye. Hum aapki baaat tab tak nhi manege jab tak aap hume aapki baaat maanne ki wajah nhi btate. Ab hum chalte h, Nanheji, humara intezaar ker re h, TATA. (Look Arnavji, its clear, either you to say your feelings or stop dominating your words on me, I won't listen to your any command till you don't reason it. Now, I am leaving, Nanheji is waiting for me. TATA.)

But before I could take even a step forward, I felt him pulling me rather harshly after so long, vut then, when I collided with his chest and looked up into his eyes, all I could see was LOVE.

He cupped my nape bringing me more closer and said with his sexy smirk-

Khushi, I am Arnav Singh Raizada, mujhe naa sun ne ki aadat nhi. Aisee nhi Toh waise mai apnii baaat poori kerwaani aatii h aur rahi baaat tumhaari Toh tum waise bhi merii kaun si baaat sunti ho, per mujhe pta h tumse kaise apnii baaat manwaani h. (Khushi, I am Arnav Singh Raizada, I don't have habit of listening a no. By hook or by crook, I know how to bend someone as per my demand and when we talk about you, you don't listen to me anyone but then as I said, I know how to deal with you.)

My heart fluttered with nervousness and joy and I felt myself blushing more and more while asking-

K-kaise? (H-how?)

And then I regretted it asking because next second I felt his sharp teeth on the tender skin of my neck.

Hey Devi Maiya!

What is he doing?

He-He bit me on my neck and now he is kissing and licking me there and why the hell it feels, so-so heaven.

Ohh!  This Laad Governor has gone crazy and is driving me crazy as well.

He is casting his magic on me. It seems he is enjoying it and making my legs weak.

Much later, he stopped his act and then meeting my down-casted, shy eyes, he said with his victorious, proud and sated smile-

Issse Love Bite kehte h, hickey bhi, aur ye itnii asani se jaega nhi aur mai poori tareh se dhyan rakhoonga ki ek jae Toh dusri aa jae taaki tumhe her waqt yaad rhe ki tum kiski ho.MAINE TUMHE CLAIM KER LIYAA KHUSHI AUR AB TUM SIRF MERI HO. (This is called love bite, hickey too and it doesn't fade that soon or easily. Beside, I will take special care to see that if one fades, other replaces it, so that you can know, whom you belong to. I HAVE CLAIMED YOU KHUSHI AND NOW YOU ARE ONLY MINE.)

He said pointing towards that mark called love bite and I felt burying deep in his chest.

Ab mai chalta hu, TATA. (Now, I am leaving, TATA.)

He said again startling me and left with his victorious smile and I could just open my mouth wide.

Ye Laad Governor, ye Khoon choosne waale keede h kya? (This Laad Governor, Is he a parasite or what?)

Claim ker liyaa, aisee? (Claimed me, like this?)

Accha, toh hum bhi aap ko claim ker k dikhayenge aur ab toh hamara manobal aur majbut ho gya h, hum aapse aapki dil ki baaat bolwa ker hi rahenge. (Okk, now I will also claim you ans now my confidence boosted too, I will make you confess your feelings.)

L-Love bite.

I couldn't help touching that spot and blush heavily remembering that Ohh-so-my-Laad Governor moment.

But then, it striked me, he has challenged me.

Me, me, Khushi Kumari Gupta.

I literally fumed blowing air on my tendrils.

How dare you, Arnavji?

What does he think?

He thinks himself as superior.

Yeah! 

Superior in business matter and completely hopeless in terms of me and our unofficial love story.

Bade aaye superior, I love you toh bol nhi sekte aur love bite hi dete rehte h. (Ahh!  Thinks himself as superior. Yay, right, he can't even say I love you and keeps giving love bites.)

Iss Laad Governor ko sabak seekhana hi hogaa. (I have to teach this Laad Governor a lesson.)

Hum aap hi k Arnavji per ye baaat aapko bolni padegi, saaf saaf sabdo me. (I am only yours Arnavji, but you will have to say this in clear words.)

Hey Devi Maiya!
Ab hum iss nishan ka kya kre, kaise chupayee issse?
Aur Arnavji ko ye nishan kaise de?
Aur sabse badii baaat hum-hum unkee samne kaise jae? (Hey Devi Maiya!
Now what should I do with this mark, how to hide it?
And how will I give this mark to Arnavji?
And most important, how-how will I go in front of him?)
